"I've met some folks who say, that I'm a dreamer
and I've no doubt there's truth in what they say.
Ah, but sure is a body bound to be a dreamer
when all these things he loves are far away.
And precious things are dreams unto an exile.
They take him over the land across the sea.
Especially when it happens he's an exile
from that dear lovely Isle of Innesfree.
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
of this great city, as wondrous though it be,
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter.
I'm home again, back home in Innesfree.
I wander over hills and dreamy valleys
to find a peace, no other land could know.
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
and I watch the rivers, laughing as they flow.
But dreams don't last, though dreams are not forgotten.
And soon I'm back to stern reality.
But though they paved the footsteps here with gold dust
I still would choose the Isle of Innesfree."
